Teams at Cultivarium

Design and build custom scientific instruments across mechanical, electronics, and firmware domains; develop and execute NGS workflows and assays; maintain sequencing QC; troubleshoot experiments and validate assays with biologists; write protocols/SOPs; set up and maintain lab instrumentation; iterate prototypes to production and communicate technical tradeoffs to team and stakeholders.

Engineer eukaryotic genomes end-to-end for mammalian cell systems: design and build editing reagents, perform mammalian cell culture and deliveries (transfection/electroporation/LNP/viral), isolate clones, verify edits via NGS and Sanger, and validate genotype-to-phenotype using molecular and cellular assays while optimizing efficiency and minimizing off-target effects.

Manage day-to-day lab operations, safety compliance, and inventory/procurement. Support mammalian and microbial culture workflows, equipment maintenance, EHS interactions, shipping/MTA handling, routine lab tasks, and process improvements. Provide occasional on-call emergency response.
